<p>Ah, I missed the employee being caught - tampering with the mail is a federal offense, they should really have pushed this harder (and if they bothered to tote up the total amount of losses, it certainly would’ve risen to felony amounts.) A public flogging at minimum, the creep. </p>
<p>As for the card reader - you’re correct, if you mean these were “tail-gaters”, where people allow people following close behind them to go inside without swiping. </p>
<p>The reason I suspect the administration “caught” the person is that it suddenly, and seemingly permanently, stopped. The brazen nature of the thefts suggests something more pathological than simple burglary, and in my mind, unlikely to simply stop of their own accord. And I suspected all along that this kind of thing would’ve been kept quiet by the administration at the time, for whatever reason you care to suppose. </p>
